Born and raised in Honduras, Vicente Alvarado moved to the United States as a young man. Through a God-ordained last-minute opportunity, Vicente went to Japan where he met his future wife. Using photography and film as a hobby, Vicente discovered it was a powerful way to reach out in an unreached country.
Today, Vicente serves as a full-time missionary in Japan. Vicente and his wife Janine started The Gospel Through a Click, a ministry using film to both evangelize and serve local churches.
